Computer language :
A computer language is a way of telling a computer what to do. As we human understand different languages and communicate with one another similarly we also have to communicate with computer and tell it to do some thing, so for this purpose we need a language that computer can understand because computer is not able to understand the general human languages we speak.
A computer
language has a set of rules, words, symbols, and numbers that are used to write
instructions for a computer. These instructions are called programs or
software. The computer use these instruction and programs and perform the required task for the user. Different computer languages have different purposes and features.
Types of computer languages :
1: Low level languageLow level language:
Low-level
languages are closer to the way computers work, using binary numbers (0 and 1)
or symbols (called mnemonics) to represent the basic operations of the
computer.
High level language :
High-level
languages are closer to the way humans think, using words and commands that are
similar to natural languages like English.
Examples:
Some examples of high-level languages are C,
Java, Python, and SQL etc. High-level languages use words and commands to give an
instruction to the computer that are more understandable and expressive for
humans but these word and instruction are not understandable for the computer therefor compiler convert these instruction into binary language and then they are transfer to the computer.
